Baked Brie with Cranberry Sauce

4 cups cranberries fresh or frozen

2/3 cup sugar

Just A Splash Port

1/2 cup water

2 teaspoons orange zest

Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, star anise)

1 Packet of Brie Cheese

​

​

  1. Boil water and port and sugar on the stove, stirring to dissolve. Add the cranberries, then return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries burst.

  2. Add the add zest to the saucepan along with any extra spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, or even half a pint of blueberries. Stir vigorously to blend and heat for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then let cool completely at room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

  3. Once the sauce has chilled, preheat the oven to 350F. Unwrap the Brie and spread a few teaspoons of the cranberry sauce on top and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. It should be oozing at the touch and still be hot.

  4. Spread the Brie on toast, or even serve as a dip with crackers, celery, apple slices, and of course extra cranberry sauce.
